All I am saying is just as we can have local and remote ports as
selectors; we can instead use Flow Labels along with the IP addresses
for the same purpose, if some assumptions can be made for the flow
label. 

Is my understanding wrong?

Thanks,

Hi

Does this mean that you are using the flow label in lieu of
the regular IPSEC SP match?

Thanks
